He came power following a [[3063]] civil war between the two most powerful noble families on the planet, the Hassledorfs and LeSats.

A militant faction of the [[Democracy Now]] movement led by [[Lindon Ashley]] had ousted the nobility from power. Citing the Firenze Regional Defense Pact, Sheridan sent the KPG, commanded by Baron Trent Hassledorf, to Enzesfled.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', pp. 41, 46: "Aftermath" and "Police Actions"</ref> Sheridan was thrust into the limelight in [[3072]] when [[Archon]] [[Peter Steiner-Davion]] resurrected an idea from the early [[twenty-ninth century]]: [[Archonette]]s. Kaumberg was one of the first four Archonettes to be formed by the Archon, empowering Sheridan to help fourteen of his neighboring planets rebuild. Sheridan wasted little time utilizing his new authority to essentially declare war on Democracy Now and order the KPG to [[Novara]], home to the headquarters of Democracy Now. Speaking from the planetary capital of Stuttgart, Sheridan said that time had "run out" for Ashley and his followers. The KPG was easily victorious over Ashley's [[Democratic People's Army]], though they failed to capture him.<ref name=MM /><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 94: "Return of the Archonettes" and "Declaration of War"</ref><ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 19</ref> Two years later, Ashley reappeared on [[Virtue]], again espousing his ideals. The KPG was scattered, training the defenders of the Archonette.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 52: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> Unable to respond immediately, Sheridan could only watch as Ashley's views again spread through his Archonette, this time in force, to [[Vermezzo]] and [[Akfata]]. In May [[3075]], Sheridan personally led KPG forces against Ashley's supporters on Akfata. Directing the assault from orbit, Sheridan's KPG contingent brought their full weight to bear against target after target, rolling up the DPA, who possessed unexpectedly high numbers of both 'Mechs and 'Mechs that fielded advanced technology. They secured the main DropPort, then a strategic mountain pass, and finally moved on the planetary capital. The DPA fought hard and resolutely, but fell to the KPG on 2 May 3075. Sheridan's forces had completely liberated Akfata in thirty-seven hours.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 23–24</ref> With his forces damaged from the fighting on Vermezzo and Akfata, Archonette Sheridan hired [[mercenary unit]] [[Kirkpatrick's Invaders]] a few weeks after the battles. The Invaders and KPG assaulted Virtue in August and captured Lindon Ashley after two weeks of fighting.<ref>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> After a trial for crimes against the Alliance, he was executed in January [[3076]]. Sheridan personally read out Ashley's crimes at the execution.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 71–72, 74: "Democracy Now Trials Begin on Kaumberg" and "Execution for Ashley, Conspirators"</ref> In [[3081]] Archon [[Adam Steiner]] disbanded the [[Arcturus Archonette|Arcturus]] and [[Buena Archonette]]s, though others, including Kaumberg and Inarcs, refused to relinquish their power.
